Rik Mayall RIP, by Finsbury on Jun 9, 2014 20:05:23 GMT 1, Gutted It's amazing when you dont hear about someone for so many years then you are reminded of the laughs they gave you. The young ones was so mental it was just the best programme to watch as a kid.

Rik Mayall RIP, by Martin M on Jun 9, 2014 21:26:41 GMT 1, RIP Rik. Used to see him walking down the road most days, i work just up the road from where he lived in Barnes. He always looked a bit dishevelled to be honest, felt like saying hello so many times as he was such a part of my teenage years. The Young Ones was the only program i can remember that a load of us would make a point of meeting up with a few beers around someones house for that half hour of comic genius mayhem.......fond memories.

Rik Mayall RIP, by mac on Jun 10, 2014 4:00:19 GMT 1, Sad news, was a huge fan and I have great memories of quoting almost every episode of Bottom with friends at school and watching Bottom Live 1 so many times that the video died - Rik forgetting his lines and Eddie goading him remains one of my favourite 5 minutes of comedy (because... I found the railway station...). Genius.
Remember a friend borrowing his dad's video recordings of Kevin Turvey Investigates and around 10 of us all in stitches watching it. Been through a load of them this morning and they still make me laugh just as much as they did then. Cheers Rik, would have had a lot less laughs growing up without you around!

Rik Mayall RIP, by balibob on Jun 10, 2014 10:15:42 GMT 1, Agree with all that has been said. He always made me laugh, regardless what he was in. His first Flashheart was so good apparently that after the take, Rowen Atkinson wanted Ben Elton to agree to a retake with the character toned down, as he was afraid Rik would steal the show. He was right of course. Sadly missed.

"A bench matching the one featured in the opening credits of the BBC comedy 'Bottom' is to be officially installed in the same spot in London in memory of Rik Mayall.
Rik, who starred in the sitcom with Adrian Edmondson between 1991 and 1995, said he was sad to see the bench had been removed shortly before his death in June.
Now Hammersmith Council are set to replace it after more than 7000 fans successfully petitioned to have it reinstated.
The new bench will feature the inscription: "In Memory of The Man, The Myth, The Legend". " ...
